The 50 Shades of Grey movie is still getting a lot of buzz even though many people think the erotic trilogy is already past its sell-by date. Despite that, it seems as though readers and fans of the novels are more hyped about the movie version than ever before.

Over the past month there have been so many rumors about the upcoming films that fans don’t know what to believe. Everyone has their thoughts on who should play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele but there have been no concrete plans for who will play the characters as of yet.

E! Online (via HollywoodLife) is reporting that at the current time, there is one actor is who is a definite front-runner for the Christian Grey role, though he has not confirmed or denied he’s been approached for it.

That person?

None other than Ryan Gosling.

Though Gosling is said to be extremely busy right now, it would be great to see him play the sexed-up and extremely naughty role of Christian.

“I’ve never booked myself up like this. I used to make a film every year or two. A week after I finished The Place Beyond the Pines, I started on my current film Gangster Squad [with Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Emma Stone]. We’ll see. I may come to regret it but I just want to be making films right now. The opportunities are so great I don’t want just to be hanging out. I feel like this is the time for me to be productive,” Gosling said.

If you read into his words, it sure seems like he is making time to make films, so could 50 Shades of Grey be on his agenda?

Do you agree with E! Online? Is Ryan Gosling the perfect fit for Christian Grey?
